1999 Dodge Durango Electrical Problems

Your engine randomly misfires and can drop RPMs or stall without warning at any speed, which is especially dangerous at low speeds when it can cause you to lose power steering and brake function. Despite replacing sensors, fuel pump, injectors, and the entire ignition system, no check engine light appears and diagnostic readers show no misfire codes or history. The fix may involve deep electrical diagnostics to find intermittent faults in the ignition or engine control systems that don't trigger standard trouble codes.

When the outside temperature exceeds 80 degrees, your engine shuts off unexpectedly while driving at any speed, and a "no bus" error code appears on the dashboard for a few seconds. When this happens, your power steering and brakes become very hard to use, which is dangerous on the highway. Pulling over and letting the computer cool down restarts the engine. The fix likely involves diagnosing the computer's thermal management system or replacing a faulty engine control module that's overheating in warm weather.

While driving at 75 mph, your vehicle suddenly lost all electrical power without any warning. An independent mechanic diagnosed a defective electronic control module (ECM) as the cause. Even after the module was replaced, the same problem happened again. The fix will involve replacing or reprogramming the electronic control module that manages your vehicle's engine and electrical systems.

Your vehicle's engine control computer (PCM/ECU) fails when it overheats, causing the engine to stall and disabling power steering and brakes — a critical safety issue that has happened multiple times at highway speeds. The problem is caused by solder joints coming loose on internal chips due to heat, and even replacement units from Dodge dealerships have failed within months. Fixing this requires replacing the PCM/ECU with a properly soldered unit, though finding a reliable replacement has been difficult.

Your Durango's engine suddenly shuts off while driving, causing complete power loss—this has happened multiple times on the highway and created near-accident situations. The shutdown also occurs when the car is parked, typically about 15 minutes after you start it. This issue may require diagnosis of the electrical system to identify whether it's related to the ignition switch, battery connections, or other power distribution components.

Your vehicle's engine is shutting off unexpectedly while you're driving, even though the computer module (PCM) was already replaced and worked fine for 2 months before the problem returned. This has happened multiple times at various speeds (45 mph on city streets and 65 mph on the highway), creating a serious safety hazard that has nearly caused accidents. The issue likely involves a faulty electrical connection, sensor, or a replacement computer module that isn't functioning properly, and will need diagnostic testing to identify the root cause.

Your vehicle suddenly loses all electrical power and won't start, and the odometer displays "NO BUS" on the dashboard. After waiting several minutes (sometimes up to 15 minutes), the engine restarts on its own, but no diagnostic codes appear when you check with an OBD2 scanner. This suggests an intermittent electrical connection issue rather than a specific component failure.

ECM SHUTS MY DURANGO OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HEAT FROM ENGINE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FROM MY SONS FOOTBALL GAME WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE I LOSE ALL POWER AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, JUST BARELY WAS I ABLE TO AVOID CAUSING A MULTIPLE VEHICLE PILEUP ALSO ABS POPS UP FOR MOST OF THE TIME.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. YES IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREET LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE INTERNET UNDER THIS MODEL AND YEAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE ONE OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS I HAVE E MAILED CUSTOMERASSIST@CHRYSLER.COM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY PRETEND THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY CONTINUE TO PUT UP A SMOKE SCREEN, I HAVE COPIES OF THE CORRESPONDENCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT, THE CAR IS PARKED SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. ...UPDATED 04/11/17 *BF *CN

ANOTHER RANDOMLY STALLING DURANGO. SOMETIMES STARTS BACK IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW HOURS.

ABS LIGHT AND BREAK LIGHT COME ON AFTER ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THIS COULD BE A RECALL ON THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM GAUGES DECREASED TO ZERO WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE IGNITION COIL WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I DROVE TO TOWN, STOPPED AND TURNED OFF MY ENGINE FOR AN 30 MINUTE WAIT WITH CONSTRUCTION. IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO VISIT MY SON. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE, STAYED A BIT TO VISIT, WENT TO GO HOME AND IT WOULDN'T START. FINALLY GOT IT TO START AND DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. DROVE TO TOWN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND IT DIED WHILE DRIVING, BARELY MADE IT TO TOWN. LOOKED FOR INFORMATION ON THE NET ONLY TO FIND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE (OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY) TO DIE? IS THAT REALLY WHAT IT TAKES, A LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE? I'VE READ THAT IT COULD BE THE PCM, THE PCM WIRING HARNESS, OR A COMPUTER CHIP/SENSOR/RELAY SOMETHING OR OTHER UNDER THE AIR CLEANER. NO REAL, PERMANENT, FIX AT THIS POINT, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER HELPING? CHRYSLER DOESN'T BACK THEIR PRODUCT? NO WONDER AMERICAN PEOPLE OPT FOR IMPORTS, THEY ARE RELIABLE AND BUILT TO LAST. HOW ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING CHRYSLER AND STEP UP! *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM JUST SHUTS THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOWN "WHILE I'M DRIVING", AT ANY SPEED...DOESN'T MATTER THE TEMPERATURE, IT HAPPENS ON ANY DAY, AND AT RANDOM. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, BRAKES AND STEERING BECOME UNUSABLE. JUST MISSED REAR ENDING A VEHICLE THE OTHER DAY WHICH GOT ME TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS. I HAVE TO REMOVE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL FROM POST FOR 30 SECONDS, PUT BACK ON TERMINAL POST, THEN HOPEFULLY IT STARTS. I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY FAMILY ANYMORE DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD.IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THIRTY TIMES NOW. LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHATS THE MATTER, YET HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ONLINE POSTINGS PROVE WHAT I AM SAYING. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE, PERHAPS MYSELF, DIES..... *TT

YOU GO DOWN THE ROAD DOESN'T MATER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU GO JUST SHOTS DOWN PUT 2 PCM IN DOES THE SAME THAN SHUT DOWN AND SAY NO BUS HAD TO PAY A SHOP TO SAY THE PCM WAS NO GOOD TO SEND IT BACK TO GET A NO ONE. *TR

HAMPTON, VA. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OFF. I LOST THE POWER STEERING & BRAKES. I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE, I WAS GOING UNDER 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER ME AND THE KIDS PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE STREET, I LET THE TRUCK COOL OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. BY MY UNDERSTANDING FROM BLOGS AND THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

ON 9/8/2013, THE CAR QUIT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT ISSUE AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING MANY MILES FROM ANY ASSISTANCE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO CRANK OVER. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GASOLINE. THERE WAS NO SPARK FROM THE IGNITION SYSTEM, COIL, PLUGS, ETC. THERE HAVE MANY PREVIOUS EVENTS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPAIRS. INCLUDING THE PCM AT ~$1600 55 WEEKS AGO. *TR

WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, PANEL, LIGHTS GO OUT THE TURN SIGNAL ARROWS LIGHT UP. AT NIGHT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN NOT SEE HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING AND ALSO IF ANY OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE TO COME ON YOU WOULD NOT KNOW BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM AS THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM DURING THE DAY BECAUSE OF THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS ARE OUT. WHEN I CRANK CAR THE CHIMES DO NOT ALWAYS SOUND. I AM GETTING SHOCKED WHEN I STOP TURN OFF CAR AND GET OUT AND TOUCH THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE THIRTY MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 225,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD ON A BUSY ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF ON ME ..I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL TO GET OFF THE ROAD...SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF IT!..ITS HAS DONE THIS TO ME SEVERAL TIMES...IT SCARED ME SO BAD THAT I QUIT DRIVING IT! *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING ALSO LOSING POWER STEERING,BRAKES ETC. MAY OR MAY NOT START AFTER 15 MINUTES OR SO. HAVE HAD GRANDKIDS WITH ME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS,ONE BEING SITTING IN 90 DEGREE HEAT FOR OVER AN HOUR AND VEHICLE WOULDNT START, WAITING ON TOW. ANOTHER TIME VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO JUMP LANES AND COAST TO GET TO SIDE ROAD TO STOP. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES! HAVENT DROVE IT SINCE. SITTING IN DRIVEWAY AROUND 3 MONTHS. ABS HAS ALSO GONE OUT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND THE POWERED BRAKES. IT WOULD RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE COMPUTER, AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT DODGE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THE COMPUTER FAILING. THE COMPUTER IS VERY CLOSE TO THE ENGINE, AND THIS CAUSES THE BOARD TO WARP AND CONNECTIONS TO BREAK. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED, AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, OR IT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60-65 MPH, WITH MY CHILD, MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT INDICATIONS OF IMMINENT FAILURE, NO SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS OF STRESS. THE DASH LIGHTS AND ALARMS DID NOT SEND NOTIFICATION UNTIL I WAS ALREADY COASTING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE TRYING TO STEER THE SUDDENLY NONPOWERED STEERING WHEEL THRU TRAFFIC I BEGAN TO WORRY IF WE WERE GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE OR DAMAGING ANY VEHICLES. AT THE TIME I WAS JUST THANKFUL TO HAVE MADE IT HOME WITH MY CHILD IN ONE PIECE BUT SOON I REALIZED THIS STORY COULD HAVE HAD A MUCH WORSE OUTCOME. THE VEHICLE'S ECM WAS FAULTY AND RESULTED IN AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO TEMPORARILY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. *TR

I WAS PULLING A BOAT TO THE LAKE WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF , I LOST ALL POWER SUCH AS POWER STEERING ,POWER BRAKES .THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ! ONCE I GOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPENED THE HOOD I MOVED AROUND THE WIRES ON THE COMPUTER , I HEARD THE FUEL PUMP ENGAGE AND THEN I STARTED IT . IT RAN A FEW MINUTES AND DID IT AGAIN ! BOTH TIMES THEIR WAS A BUS ERROR ON THE ODOMETER . AS I HAVE STUDIED THIS PROBLEM ,COMPUTERS (PCM) ARE OVERHEATING AND CAUSING CONNECTION PROBLEMS . THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO HAVE ACCIDENTS AND GET PEOPLE KILLED ! DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ! THERE ARE MANY ! *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BEHIND. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE JUST DIES. WILL START UP ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. SEEMS LIKE A COMPUTER PROBLEM. I HAVE PREVIEWED WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY DURANGO RANDOMLY DIES DURING OPERATION AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAS ENDANGERED LIVES OF CIVILIANS. *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND GO A COUPLE OF MILES AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WITH OUT WARNING. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS DOWN, ELECTRONICALLY, WHILE DRIVING IN WARM/HOT WEATHER. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PCM AND/OR IT'S LOCATION. VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN LIFE THREATENING IF ON THE FREEWAY. DODGE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM, OR SAFETY ISSUE, SO FORUMS AND CONSUMERS ARE LEFT TO RESOLVE THIS VERY HUGE PROBLEM. ONLY SEEMS TO EXIST ON DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE YEARS 1999 AND 2000. PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED, FOR FREEWAY USE, WITH MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE; A 3-4 INCH TUBE FROM THE GRILL TO THE PCM. NO FIX, SO FAR, FOR LOCAL USE ON HOT DAYS. *TR

I OWN A DODGE DURANGO THAT IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. IT SUFFERS FROM "SHUT OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO SYNDROME" AND THE COMPANY WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ON THE INTERNET DURANGO SITES. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT TO DO THAT THEREFORE MAKING REPAIRING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS BASICALLY A DEATH TRAP AS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SO DOES THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES!!! THE ODOMETER READS NOBUS. WE HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL THINGS SUCH AS THE PCM ABOUT 6 TIMES, CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, CAM SENSOR, SHUT DOWN RELAY, AND FUEL PUMP RELAY. WE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS. AS FOR US WE ARE TIRED OF INVESTING MONEY SO THAT THE VEHICLE KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING OF SHUTTING DOWN AND NOT STARTING. THEN HAVING TO GET IT TOWED HOME IS NOT SO CHEAP. IF WE CAN GET A SOLUTION FROM DODGE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. THANK YOU

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO DIES WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE AND MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM (PER DODGE) AND IT HASN'T CHANGED HOW THE SUV RUNS!! *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND GO A COUPLE OF MILES AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WITH OUT WARNING. *TR

SAME AS ALL THE OTHERS, MY DODGE DURANGO GETS HOT THEN SHUTS DOWN. AS IT STALLS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DIGITAL ODOMETER IT WILL READ "NO BUS" AND THE DIGITAL THERMOSTAT READS 141 DEGREES. AFTER SITTING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 AND 30 MINUTES IT RESTARTS AND RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND IT WAS THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE'S A COMPANY OUT IN FLORIDA THAT WILL SEND YOU A REMANUFACTURED ONE FOR ABOUT $500 AND IT'S 4 BOLTS TO CHANGE OUT. COME ON DODGE, WHY CAN'T YOU FIX THIS MESS????? *TR

I OWN A 99 DODGE DURANGO, 5.9 LITER, THE EVENTS TO THE FAILURE WERE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, AT STOP, IN INTERSECTIONS, WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART, DASH CLUSTER WOULD NOT FUNCTION, READ NO BUS ON ODOMETER, AND SHOW I HAD NO FUEL ON GAS GAUGE. ALSO WHEN IT WOULD STALL I WOULD LOSE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, MAKING IT HARD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC OR MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD MY WIFE AND 2 INFANTS WITH ME ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 IN THE MIDDLE LANE. NOT ONLY UNEXPECTED, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SINCE THEN I WILL NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR. THINGS THAT WERE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WERE FUEL PUMP, CAP AND ROTOR, PLUGS, WIRES, CRANK SENSOR, AND PCM. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL WORK AND PARTS. OLD PCM NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO CORE. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO SLT / 4WD / 8 CYL 5.9L - VEHICLE MILEAGE 53,712 AS OF 08/31/10; THE FOLLOWING OEM COMPONENTS / PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE / BROKEN / WORN PREMATURELY CAUSING OTHER PARTS / COMPONENTS / SYSTEMS TO FAIL, BRAKE & SHOULD BE RECALLED, SERVICED, REPLACED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER, LLC AT THEIR EXPENSE (NO WONDER THEY NEEDED BAILOUT $): 5) ABS & BRAKE DASH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES DUE TO FAULTY SENSORS LOCATED ON TRANSMISSION TUNNEL & NEAR DRIVE SHAFT. *TR

THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. MY 99 DODGE DURANGO HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY WEBSITES AND HEARD FROM MANY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE ECU IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE'S HEAT AND CAUSES IT OR THE WIRES TO SHORT OUT ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER HEAT. ONE IT SHUTS OFF IT WILL START AGAIN BUT IT SEEMS IT NEEDS A BIT TO COOL DOWN. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT YET CAUSE I HEAR THERE IS NO SOLUTION. I HAVE PURCHASED SOME HEAT SHIELDING TAPE AND SHEETS TO PUT AROUND IT BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM IN THE MAIL SO HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET. *TR

ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN CPU GETS HOT, YOU CAN WAIT A FEW MINUTES & ENGINE WILL START & OTHER TIMES NOT. A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THEM HAVE TO GET A NEW CPU, BUT LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEM WILL COME BACK. THE COMPUTER GETS VERY VERY HOT WHERE IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD. *TR

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD . SOMETIMES IT TAKES 15-20 MIN FOR IT TO START UP ...BUT IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE IN THE HOT SUMMERS. LATELY I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND IT DOES IT MORE AND MORE . I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY A 18 WHEELER! *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO 5. 2 SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND LOOSES ALL POWER WHEN THE COMPUTER GETS TOO HOT. EITHER DRIVING 70 MPH ON FREEWAY OR JUST IDLING VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOU LOOSE ALL POWER AND CANT STOP OR STEER. TRUCK WILL NOT START TILL THE ECM COOLS OFF THEN WILL HAPPEN 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND I HAVE DONE RESEARCH OVER THE VEHICLE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS MINE SHUTS OF NO LESS THEN 7 TIMES FROM HOME TO THE STORE WHICH IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IT I HAVE NOTHING ELSE AND I CANT AFFORD TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIX I FEEL MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SHAPE AS ME AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY FOR INSTANCE EARLIER TODAY I WENT TO THE STORE AND IT SHUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN AND I TRIED TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND IT WAS TO HEAVY FOR ME TO PUSH UNTIL ONE MAN CAME TO HELP ME AND ITS THE SAME PROBLEM AT RED LIGHTS AND MUCH MORE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS BEING HARASSED ABOUT NO INSURANCE,A LIGHT BEING OUT AND ANOTHER THING THAT CAN BE FIXED EASILY AND YET WHEN A VEHICLE SHUTS OFF IN THE ROAD ALL THE POLICE CAN SAY IS MOVE IT OR WE WILL TOW IT ITS KIND OF HARD TO MOVE IT WHEN I WILL NOT START SO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE PCM/ECU FAILS GIVING THE NO BUS SIGNAL ON ODOMETER WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN AND LOSING POWER STEERING MAKING IT HARD TO STEER AND LOSS OF VACUUM MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO 5.9L V8 WITH 173,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT FROM A PRIVATE SELLER AND TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST STALLS AND READS NO BUS ON SPEED ODOMETER , THEN I FOUND OUT IF I WIGGLE THE LEFT BLACK COMPUTER PLUG FOR A FEW MIN IT STARTS BACK UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I SEARCHED GOOGLE AND FOUND PAGES AND PAGES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM STALLING. I HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND NO ONE CAN FIND HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND AS ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE MY PCM FAILED AND THE SECOND ONE IS FAILING NOW JUST ONE YEAR LATER! DODGE DEALERS HERE ALL KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM SO ONE WOULD ASSUME DODGE KNOWS. THE PLACEMENT OF THE PCM ON THE PASSENGER FRONT FENDER GATHERS EXES HEAT OFF THE MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY COST WAY TO MUCH TO REPAIR, IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE PCM FAILS THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF DEAD. A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BREAKS IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS AS LARGE AS THIS ONE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILLED ON THIS VEHICLE SOMETHING NEED DONE! *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. IT STARTED LAST SUMMER WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED DYING FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO MECHANIC SAID O2 SENSOR. REPLACED. THEN DOES IT A FEW DAYS LATER. TOOK BACK. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. REBUILT. THEN WINTER COMES RUNS GREAT. THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. SO THIS SUMMER COMES, STARTS DYING AGAIN. SO TOOK TO A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. REPLACED. DID IT AS I LEFT HIS HOUSE. HE TOOK IT BACK SAID IT WAS THE PCM. AM STILL WAITING FOR ONE AFTER THE ONE I GOT WAS BAD. REPLACED ANOTHER O2 SENSOR AND IT DIES 5 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME YESTERDAY WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD AND MY 7 MONTH OLD IN MY VEHICLE. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SO TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN 92 DEGREE WEATHER IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND AFTER ONLY SEARCHING FOR 5 MINUTES I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE TO DIE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT JUST DIES LEAVING YOU WITH NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND BARELY BEING ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI THE OTHER DAY ON THE FREEWAY. SO SCARY. IF ANY THING HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN I WILL SUE!! *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO LOSING ALL POWER. THE ODOMETER READY "NO BUS" AND NOTHING IN THE TRUCK WORKS, NOT EVEN THE BRAKES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGO. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT'S DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE TRUCK'S COMPUTER. IT IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE ENGINE AND WITH THE INCREASED HEAT DURING THE SUMMER, THE COMBINATION IS TOO MUCH FOR THE COMPUTER TO HANDLE SO IT SHUTS DOWN. THE BEST REFERENCE OF THIS I READ WAS "THE BRAIN STOP TALKING TO THE BODY" THAT INDICATES HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED THIS WAY AND I'M UNSURE IF THE COMPUTER CAN BE MOVED WITHOUT CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 10 TIMES. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE DAYS IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE. AT LEAST 90 DEGREES. THIS PROBLEM IS SO DANGEROUS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. I KNOW NOW TO LET IT COOL OFF, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK WHEN I NEED TO! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT SOMEONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS. *TR

I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY UP TO 70MPH THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF, GOES DEAD EVERYTHING GETS LOCKED REALLY HARD TO KEEP IN CONTROL AFTER EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAYS DUE TO IT GOES DEAD AFTER A FEW MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL BE MY (CBM) OR THE MAIN COMPUTER IT GETS HOT AND IT RESET IT SELF AFTER 20MIN OF NO BUS WHICH WILL APPEAR ON THE MILEAGE READER AND I READ LOTS OF THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING . *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO. TRUCK HAS BEEN STALLING AND DYING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN CAUSING YOU TO LOSE POWER BRAKE + STEERING. I'VE CHANGED ALL SENSORS. PLUGS, WIRES ETC, AND STILL STALLS. NO MECHANIC OR DEALER CAN RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM AND DODGE HAS NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM BEING AN ISSUE, I'M THE FIRST! HA! *TR

DODGE DURANGO 1999 ENGINE JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING GAUGES DROP ENGINE STALLS, THEN HOLD ON AND PRAY THAT NOBODY HITS YOU, I HAVE HAD THE PCM REPLACED AT THE DEALER $850.00 ONLY FOR IT TO START THE SAME PROBLEM 5 WEEKS LATER, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY IT SHOWS NO ERROR AND WITHOUT IT BEING DOWN THEY ARE UNABLE TO TEST ANY FURTHER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 AND MANY HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE! I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO AVOID NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE ABS LIGHTS TURN ON CHECK ENGINE AND BREAK. THE SUV TURNS OFF ALSO KILLS MY BATTERY CHECKED ALTERNATOR CHECKED ELECTRICAL TERMINALS, CHANGED SPEED SENSORS. I SPENT THOUSANDS ON THE TRUCK AND IT IS PISSING ME OFF. *TR

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO TURNS OFF ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE GETS ABOVE 85F. THIS HAPPENS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND EVEN DRIVING AT 70 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM BUT IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. ONE DAY SOMEONE WILL REAR END ME AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

THE DODGE DURANGO 1999, STALLS COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING OR REASON. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME (5 MINUTES) IT RUNS AGAIN. THERE IS NO APPARENT PROBLEM WHEN SCANNED OR IS SERVICED. THE IMMINENT DANGER IS THAT WHEN IT STALLS EVERYTHING LOCKS AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IT IS POTENTIAL RISK TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS. *TR

OWNER OF DODGE DURANGO 2 WEEKS AGO MY CAR STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAITED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES THEREAFTER CAR STARTED AGAIN. TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO MAKE CLOSE TO MY HOME,BEFORE STOPPING AGAIN. ALTHOUGH THIS TIME I WAITED 30 MINUTES BEFORE VEHICLE WOULD STARTED AGAIN. I FINALLY ARRIVED HOME PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. NEXT MORNING TRUCK STARTED BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, IT CONTINUE TO SHUT DOWN. I DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED. REPAIR STATION INSTALLED FUEL PUMP, PARTIAL INJECTION CLEANING AND IDLE, I DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 1 HOUR PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, WOKE UP NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED UP AGAIN, I TOOK TRUCK TO REPAIR SHOP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ID ANY PROBLEMS.THEREAFTER, TRUCK STOPPED AGAIN, I DECIDED TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP WHOM REPLACED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, TUNE UP AND FULL INJECTION CLEANING FOR 950.00 BUT TRUCK STILL CONTINUES TO STOP, NOW DEALER TECH HAS STATED PCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WILL COST 800.00 THIS IS TOTALLY INSANE, BASED ON ALL THE $ SPEND, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DOWN PAYMENT ON ANOTHER TRUCK. DODGE DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS AND THROUGH INVESTIGATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY ROOT CAUSE, ALSO NOT TO MENTION OCCURRENCES ARE JEOPARDIZING PEOPLE LIVES DUE TO THE VEHICLES CONTINUES TO CEASE WORKING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. *TR

I PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I HAVE INVESTED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND NOT EVEN THE DEALER CAN FIX. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, SENSORS, FUEL PUMP TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE IS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE WARNING GAUGES BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE SPORADICALLY AND THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT ADVISED THE MALFUNCTION MAY HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN CAUSED BY A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 167,000.

1999 DODGE DURANGO COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. WE REPLACED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS POINT TO THE PCM MODULE. THERE ARE 94 OTHER COMPLAINS AT THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE NOW. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, AT 55 ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION. PLEASE DO THE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, JUST FROM THE BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE RESEARCHED I HAVE FOUND AN ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BETWEEN 45-50 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. HE ACTIVATED THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND CONTINUED OPERATION. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000. UPDATED 01/15/10.*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS HE MOVED THE TILT STEERING WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FOUND A WIRE BURNT AT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH CONNECTOR. UPDATED 01/19/10

FRUSTRATED AS HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THESE ISSUES. WANT TO BE SURE AIRBAG ISN'T GOING TO RANDOMLY ACTIVATE. CONCERNED WITH VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNING OFF WHILE ON HIGHWAY. *TR

SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, 1999 DURANGO SHUTS OFF, HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW. NO PARTICULAR RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AS IT WILL DO IT WHILE SITTING STILL OR GOING 55 MPH. GETTING THE NO BUS READING IN ODOMETER, USUALLY RESTARTS WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I CAN NOT LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY CABLES,DISCONNECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS GOING INTO ECM AND CLEANED, AND MADE SURE SAME CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. WILL PROBABLY END UP REPLACING ECM, BUT NOT TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT THE OUTCOME. NOW THAT WINTER IS COMING, THIS MAY GET SCARY !!! *TR

99 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.9L ENGINE. AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN FEB. 2008, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING WAS GIVEN. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WHILE I DROVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED IN BY THE MAN WHO I WAS BUYING IT FROM TO GO TO THE MECHANICS. THEY TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIND THE ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER DEALING WITH NOT HAVING THE CAR ON & OFF FOR THREE MONTHS, I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE I DID IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW WHICH SAID, "NO BUS." IT WAS THEN TOWED AGAIN, AND I WROTE THE MECHANIC A NOTE TELLING THEM THAT I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS. THEIR CAR SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. THE LAST TIME MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME WAS WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. IT JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO WARNING. WE WERE ALMOST IN A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY THE CAR SWERVED AND SOME PEOPLE STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE MEDIAN. ONCE AT THE MECHANICS, I RECEIVED A CALL STATING IT WAS IN FACT THE PCM, IT WAS REPLACED AND THEN THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS ANY LONGER. THAT IS A EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE. NOW AGAIN ONE YEAR LATER THIS SAME CAR IS AT THE MECHANICS AGAIN FOR THE PCM BEING REPLACED. I JUST HANDED THEM $450 ( TOTAL $800) TO GET IT. HE HAD MY CAR FOR 6 WEEKS BEFORE DETERMINING THAT THE PCM HAD FAILED ONCE AGAIN ON THIS CAR. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD DISMISS SUCH A ROAD HAZARD. WHILE A GREAT CAR IN LOOKS, IT IS NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. WE NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS CAR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AT ANY MOMENT. THEY NEED TO RECALL THE 1999 DODGE DURANGOS AND REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PCM CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS TO BE CONTINUED TO BE IGNORED BY DODGE. SABRINA FOWLER *TR

DURANGO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE SHUT OFF ON FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. COULD NOT TURN AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES. ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE BRAKES. SHUT OFF AT LEAST 4 OR 5 OTHER TIMES IN PARKING LOTS, USUALLY AFTER INITIAL START. SOMETIMES STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SOMETIMES TOOK UP TO 30 MINUTES TO START AGAIN. BATTERY HAD GOOD CHARGE. NO DELAY TO START, JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WE DO NOT DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY ANYMORE FOR FEAR IT WILL SHUT OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TIMING FOR THE FAILURE IS UNPREDICTABLE. HUSBAND TRIED TO REPLAY THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND MAKE IT SHUT OFF, DIDN'T SHUT OFF. BLINKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE NOT TRIED REPAIRING IT YET. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, SEEMS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE USUAL REMEDIES WORK. I AM PLANNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AM HESITANT TO WASTE MONEY ON SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR OTHERS HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND BEGAN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. FREEWAY INCIDENT WAS AROUND MAY THIS YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WHICH HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IT DIED. 3 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED BACK UP AND RAN FINE. THEN, A MONTH LATER WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY IT DIED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER LANE. AFTER 10 MINUTES IT STARTED UP AGAIN AND RAN FINE. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT SUDDENLY DIED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT TOOK OVER 2 HOURS TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. IT DIED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER. ANOTHER 15 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND IT DIED PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL FILTER, AND WHEN I LOOKED FOR THE PART ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A WEBSITE WITH HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT WILL JUST DIE UNEXPECTEDLY IRREGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING IT OR HOW FAST OR SLOW IT'S GOING. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS REVEAL NO ERROR CODES, PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD TO TRY CHANGING OUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTS ON THE VEHICLE, AT GREAT COST, WITH NO CONSISTENT SUCCESS AT SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND MONEY GUESSING WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE, AND IT SEEMS DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 1998-99 DODGE DURANGOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ALL SEEM TO THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE, AS THE PCM IS LOCATED IN A VERY HIGH HEAT LOCATION UNDER THE HOOD WHICH SEEMS TO FRY THE PCM AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IT IS RUNNING IN CONJUNCTION WITH.

HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIVEFORUMS.COM/T91464.HTML I HAVE A '99 DURANGO WITH ~45000 MILES. RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN BREAKING DOWN ON ME. I FEEL IT LOSE POWER UNTIL IT DIES ALL TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY, I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH, WHEN I FELT IT LOSE POWER. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO '0" - THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON', THE 'FUEL PUMP' LIGHT CAME ON (LIKE IT DOES WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF GAS), THEN I HAD THIS ODD MESSAGE ON THE ODOMETER THAT SAID "NO BUS". THIS TIME I HAD IT TOWED TO PEP BOYS W/O TRYING TO CRANK IT WITH THE HOPES THEY CAN GET A CODE. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE "NO BUS" MESSAGE BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE FOUND THIS MENTIONED ON A FEW BULLETINS BOARDS BUT NOT WITH MUCH INFO. I THINK PERHAPS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM DODGE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT "NO BUS' MEANS AND PERHAPS IF THIS IS THE CAUSE OF ME BREAKING DOWN. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT FIXED ? PLEASE HELP. .THANKS! *TR

I PURCHASED THE 1999 DODGE DURANGO 2/8/09. THE TRUCK RAN GOOD FOR ONE WEEK. THEN IT WOULD JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AND A "NO BUS ERROR" WOULD FLASH ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE TRUCK WOULD START BACK UP. BUT THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT HAS BEEN STALLING EVERY WEEK SINCE MAY 12, 2009. IT QUIT 8/11/09 AND IT WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WHERE TO GO. IT TOOK ONE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES FOR THE TRUCK TO START BACK UP. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. IF YOU JUST TAKE 3 MINUTES AND GOOGLE "NO BUS SIGNAL ON ODOMETER OF 1999 DODGE DURANGO" YOU'LL SPEND THE NEXT 3 DAYS READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH NO SOLUTION TO FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND THE DOCTORS. I HAVE HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON THE TRUCK AND IT DOESN'T EVEN READ. THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNLESS THEY'RE IN THE TRUCK WITH YOU WHEN IT HAPPENS OR THERE WITHIN 15 MINS OF THE TRUCK STOPPING. ALL THIS MONEY FOR CASH FOR CLUNKERS AND COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO A CAR LOT IF I WANTED TO. IT WOULDN'T START. I AM VERY UPSET AND ANGRY AND FEEL THAT DODGE HAS DODGED ANOTHER BULLET. NEVER WILL I BUY A CAR FROM DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP AGAIN, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE. BELIEVE ME, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. JUST DON'T GIVE A *^$! *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO FAULTY ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER OPERATIONS. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP (0-5MPH), AT CRUISING SPEEDS (55MPH) OR RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY (25-3MPH). REPLACED PCM AND ISSUE SUBSIDED FOR 2 YEARS ONLY TO BEGIN AGAIN. DEALERSHIP STATED THE RECURRENCE WAS DUE TO FAULTY ABS CONTROL UNIT, REPLACED IN AUG '09, ONLY TO HAVE SAME ISSUE OCCUR AGAIN 2 DAYS AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY CAR WOULD RESTART AFTER ENGINE HAD TIME TO COOL DOWN. SINCE PCM WAS REPLACED, ISSUE HAS BECOME TWOFOLD - INTERMITTENT STALLING AND INTERMITTENT NOT STARTING. DROVE THE CAR TO SCHOOL, RETURNED HOME, CAR SAT FOR 1 HR, GO TO LEAVE, CAR WONT START. ENGINE CRANKS, PLENTY OF BATTERY (ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS) BUT ENGINE WONT TURN OVER. SINCE APRIL, THIS EXACT SAME SCENARIO HAS OCCURRED HALF DOZEN TIMES - AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN LETTING IT SIT, ONLY TO LEAVE AND IT WILL NOT START - WAIT FOR 30MIN-90MIN, AND CAR STARTS. THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS OCCURRED, WAITED FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS AND CAR WOULDN'T START SO HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL AND YET MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO CONSUMERS AS WELL AS TURNING THEIR BACKS ON THE DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT NEW TO MY SPECIFICATIONS (INTERNET ORDER) AND HAVE FOLLOWED THE SCHEDULED SERVICE/MAINTENANCE TO THE LETTER. 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IN NOV, WITH 151,000 MILES - THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THE USED TO. *TR

I BOUGHT MY DURANGO LAST YEAR AND IT HAS LEFT ME AND MY KIDS STRANDED ON ROAD MANY TIMES IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF NO SHOULDER TO PULL OUT OF WAY OF OTHER DRIVERS, IT SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, LOSES ALL POWER, RESTARTS IN 1-30 MINUTES BUT WILL SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MILES ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS. FIRST REPLACED FUEL PUMP THEN RELAY SWITCHES AND PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES, NOTHING EVER SHOWS ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. THREE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THEIR TIME SO HERE I AM WITH ONLY ONE VEHICLE THAT I STILL OWE MONEY FOR AND CAN'T DEPEND ON IT TO GET ME ANYWHERE. I DRIVE EVERYDAY IN FEAR THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO STALL AND GET ME OR MY KIDS KILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTION TO THE COMPUTER WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED ANY COMPENSATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DOING 65 M.P.H. AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND BRAKING WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE. I FINALLY GOT SOME HELP FROM A PASSER BY TO GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD AND LET THE PCM COOL DOWN AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER IT IS ABOVE 70 DEGREES OUT SIDE. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM NOR RECALL IT. WE NEED HELP. I HAVE FOUND OVER ONE HUNDRED CASES OF THIS HAPPENING AND DODGE WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY THIS IS SERIOUS. A NEW P.C.M. COST BETWEEN 800.00 AND 1200.00 DOLLARS AND THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. THE OTHER THING ON THE 1998 AND 1999 DURANGO IS THE OIL PUMP SCREENS ARE TO SMALL AND KEEPS CA]USING ENGINE FAILURE IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE PROBLEM ABOVE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN SAVE A LIFE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY VEHICLE FOR MANY WEEKS WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS WITH NO WARNING. GAUGES WOULD FREEZE. I WOULD STOP MY VEHICLE AND EITHER HAVE TO WAIT 20 MINS. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO TILL DIED AGAIN, OFTEN THE NEXT STOP, OR BRAKING DURING A TURN. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE OR STEER EVEN DRIVING 55MPH. ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS.

SENT ME TO HOSPITAL WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION AND TEMP OF 102.9. NEXT MORNING DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS FUEL PUMP. I PAID FOR REPAIR AND DROVE OFF WITH VEHICLE. I DROVE LESS THAN 3 MILES AND 2 MORE TIMES THE VEHICLE DIED. DEALER SENT TOW TRUCK. NEXT MOURNING DEALER CLAIM CAR IS FINE RUNNING 5 HOURS IN SHOP. I INSISTED TAKE ON ROAD IN HEAT. WHEN SHUT HOOD DIED. DEALER NPW CALLING PCM BAD NOT COMPUTER. I WAS TOLD HAD TO PAY FOR PCM AS WELL THAT FUEL PUMP WAS BAD ANYWAY. I ASKED FOR OLD PARTS WAS TOLD DO NOT RETURN CORE PARTS? I HAD ASKED FOR REPLACED PART RETURN. I PAID AND LEFT. AFTER CONTACTING OWNER OF DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. ONE WEEK LATER REFUNDED FOR FUEL PUMP NOT PCM. *TR

FAULTY PCM PART (COMPUTER), WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER, OVER 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIES. THE ENGINE DIES & THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND CAUSED SOME NEAR-CRASH SITUATIONS WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR! AFTER SCOURING THE INTERNET & TALKING WITH MECHANICS, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. I REPLACED THE FAULTY PCM & THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED. *TR

WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION, MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO LOST COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE CAR IT STARTED UP. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE LAST 20 MILES TO GET HOME. AFTER UNLOADING THE CAR, I TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. I NOTICED THE ODOMETER DISPLAY READ " NO BUS ". I TOLD THIS TO THE MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. IT STILL SHUTS DOWN AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE REPAIR SOLUTION. I THINK IT IS THE COMPUTER. IT GETS TOO HOT AND SHUTS THE CAR DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE DODGE HASN'T DONE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE NOW. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO - APPROX 80,000 MILES - 1 OWNER. ON HOT DAYS, WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP IS IN MID-80S OR ABOVE, VEHICLE STALLS AND NOBUS LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AS CHYRSLER DEALER FOR REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I'VE FOUND ATLEAST 80 PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. PEOPLE ARE BEGGING FOR A RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYLER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN-A-ROUND. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO REPORT THE SAME "DANGEROUS" PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO OTHERS, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A DEFECTIVE PCM. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE POSTING THIS PROBLEM.

MINE IS A 1999 MODEL WITH 5.9L ENGINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES, AND MOSTLY WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY DANGEROUS ON THE BUSY ROADS OF LAS VEGAS. MANY ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTOR AT THE ECM. IF THAT IS TRULY THE PROBLEM, IT IS A MFR DEFECT THAT IS ENDANGERING LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF U.S. CITIZENS AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT GUESSWORK AND WITHOUT DELAY BY THE MFR. *TR

1999 5.2L 2WHEEL DRIVE DODGE DURANGO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED. A "NOBUS" INDICATOR CAME ON THE ODOMETER AND THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING OF COURSE FAILED TO WORK SINCE THE ENGINE HAD QUIT.

IT HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET HOME, BUT FORTUNATLEY AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS.

WE HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS OF ALL GAUGES GOING DEAD. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MIS-DIAGNOSIS AT OUR EXPENSE TOTALING $730.00 WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALERSHIP ASKED US TO BRING IT BACK FOR THEM TO DO MORE REPAIRS. OBVIOUSLY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY.*JB UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. STARTED BACK IN MAY 2007. TOOK TO MECHANIC WITH NO RESULTS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SPENT $900 ON ATTEMPTS TO FIX. NO RESULTS. CAR HAS SHUT OFF ALL SUMMER LONG. APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. ALWAYS IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY, A/C ON OR IDLING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME LIKE A DRIVE THRU OR CITY TRAFFIC. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO PURCHASE EXTRA RELAYS AND EXCHANGE COOL RELAYS WITH HOT ONES. *JB

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT INTERSECTIONS AND GOING 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. MECHANIC SUGGESTS A REPLACED POWER CONTROL MODULE, WHICH GETS VERY HOT. HOWEVER, WHEN READING ONLINE FORUMS , SUCH AS DODGEFORUM.COM AND AUTOMTIVEHELPER.COM THIS HAS NOT REMEDIED. THE PROBLEM FOR LONG FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS APPRAISED. IT STARTED OCCURRING AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER.

1999 DODGE DURANGO (5.2L V8) CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LIGHT TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH AS WELL AS AT A STOP LIGHT. STALLS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BOOSTED BRAKES. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND STOP WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE FAULT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PCM (ENGINE COMPUTER) WHICH OVERHEATS IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (>75 DEGREES). REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT INITIALLY DETERMINE NATURE OF FAILURES AND QUOTED A VERY HIGH PRICED REPAIR THAT WOULD 'PROBABLY' FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT POURING ICE WATER ON THE COMPUTER COOLS IT SUFFICIENTLY AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO START UP AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. REPLACING PCM COSTS $300 FOR DIY OR >$600 FROM A REPAIR SHOP. MANUFACTURER HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OR RECALL THIS ITEM.

1999 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.9L V8 THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU LET THE CAR SIT IT WILL EVENTUALLY START BACK UP AS IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST MINE BUT AFTER INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALLOT OF PEOPLE. THE PCM HAS ALL READY BEEN REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL. THE DODGE COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE TO GO GOOD ON THIS. IT IS SAPPOSE TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE HOWEVER I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I HAVE TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN IT.YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO STALL.

1999 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.9L V8 DIES FREQUENTLY WITH NO WARNING, LOSES ALL ELECTRIC INCLUDING STEERING. WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 1/2 HOUR, RECEIVING MESSAGE "NO BUS" ON THE ODOMETER, WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. *JB

BUT THE DODGE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN NEGLIGENT TO PROVIDE A CODE ON THEIR COMPUTER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THEY THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY OR OTHER WISE THAT MAY OCCUR TO ME OR MY LOVED ONES AS A RESULT OF A POOR MANUFACTURED PRODUCT THAT HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS.

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE FIFTH TIME TODAY. AFTER THE FIRST TWO STALLS I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE OFF OF THE COMPUTER AND IT COULD BE ONE OF THREE THINGS, THE SECURITY CUTOFF, THE ECM OR THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE SECURITY CUTOFF AND GAVE ME TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS FOR THE NEXT TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE STEPS INCLUDE LISTENING FOR THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH YOU CAN'T HEAR WHEN YOU ARE STALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. SO, SINCE THE COMPUTER WON'T POP A CODE, I'M LEFT WITH CHOOSING EITHER OF 2 $800 REPAIR JOBS AND HOPING IT WORKS. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ON DODGE BULLETIN BOARDS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY WON'T ADMIT TO. ONE OF THE BOARDS SAID I SHOULD REPORT IT HERE SO YOU COULD KEEP TRACK OF IT. *JB

THE SECOND DIAGNOSTIC DONE STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG, HOWEVER, AFTER DESCRIBING TO THE DEALER THE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE PCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REVIEWING THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SIGHT THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT I HAVE , IT APPEARS THAT THIS COULD BE EITHER THE (PCM) OR (CENTRAL COMPUTER MODULE/PICK UP PLATE) THAT IS THE PROBLEM. *NLM DEALER CURRENTLY WORKING ON REPLACING THE PCM, BUT I WILL ALSO QUESTION THE (CENTRAL COMPUTER MODULE/PICK UP PLATE) TO SEE IF THE TWO ARE IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER.

VEHICLE STALLS PERIODICALLY. IT WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, SOMETIMES FIVE MINUTES, SOMETIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. WE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY EDELEN TIRE & SERVICE AND TWICE BY CONWAY HEATON DODGE IN BARDSTOWN, KY. CONWAY HEATON VERIFIED THE PROBLEM ON FEBRUARY 1, 2002. NEITHER SERVICE CENTER COULD DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT THEM INVOLVED (CARE # 9699040). THEY CONTACTED CONWAY HEATON TO HELP, BUT COULD NOT. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WHICH IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE. CHRYSLER AND CONWAY HEATON TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PLEASE HELP!*AK

BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. A CLIP THAT HOLDS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM BROKE OR CAME LOOSE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. I CONTACTED CRYSTLER BUT THEY SAID SINCE NO ONE DIED ALL THEY CAN DO IS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANY DURANGO OR JEEP OUT THERE.*AK

ENGINE KNOCKS UNDER LOAD CONTINUOUSLY AND USES EXCESSIVE OIL. DEALER HAS TOLD ME IT IS DUE TO FAULTY COMPUTER BUT IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND NO FIX AS OF YET.

DIAMLER CHRYSLER CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO RESOLUTION.*AK
